Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by prioritizing PowerShell instructions, referencing Windows-specific tools (such as Git Bash for CLI usage), and providing examples and guidance that assume a Windows environment. Linux-native shells and workflows are not discussed, and the CLI instructions reuse Windows-centric file paths and context. There is a lack of explicit Linux or macOS examples, and the documentation does not address cross-platform differences in detail.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit Linux/macOS instructions and examples, including native Bash shell usage and file path conventions.
  • Avoid recommending Windows-specific tools (e.g., Git Bash) as the default for CLI usage; mention standard Bash shells available on Linux/macOS.
  • Provide guidance for running Azure CLI commands in Linux/macOS terminals, including differences in environment variables and file paths.
  • Ensure that CLI examples use forward slashes (/) for file paths and avoid Windows-style backslashes (\\) unless specifically targeting Windows.
  • Include troubleshooting notes for common cross-platform issues (e.g., permission errors, shell differences).
  • Balance the prominence of PowerShell and CLI instructions, and consider listing CLI (cross-platform) instructions before PowerShell (Windows-centric) ones.
